An Ideal Czech Female Poet. The Poetry of Czech Woman Authors in 1870s According to Contemporary Critics
KLIKOVÁ, Marie
The diploma thesis focuses on the poetic writings of Czech poets: Albína Dvořáková-Mráčková, Berta Mühlsteinová, Eliška Krásnohorská and Irma Geisslová. These authors published their first poetry collections in the 1870s and thus actively participated in shaping Czech poetry. The poetic works of these authors are highly critically appraised (for example, and quite systematically, by Jan Neruda). Also, the thesis presents the authors' biographies and their literary activities in the 1870s (provided in the form of a complete bibliography overview). The aim of this thesis is to analyse the contemporary "ideal" image of the Czech poets and to answer the question regarding how this "ideal" image was required by contemporary reviewers and accepted by contemporary readers. The authors' poetic works are analysed with the use of electronic databases such as Retrobi and Kramerius. Also used were archival materials from the Memorial of National Literature in Prague.

This diploma thesis deals with the critical reception of Neruda's and Hálek's poetry. The first chapter summarizes the existing knowledge of these authors' creations. At first we focused on the typical traits of their generation, and then on the genesis of their writing. Then using specialized literature, we briefly try to interpret their poetry. At the end of this chapter we show how the critical attitudes towards both poets changed over time. The second chapter also serves as a reference frame for the study of contemporary critical reception Neruda's and Hálek's poetry, because it describes the development of Czech literary criticism in the 19th century, especially in its second half, and its leading personalities who influenced the reception of poetic works of these poets. The next part of the thesis analyzes period reviews of Hálek's poetry in detail. Firstly we briefly describe the main features of Hálek's poetry in general, then we expound the characteristics of his collections of poems. Subsequently for each collection of poems, we provide a description of the critiques published. We further analyze these descriptions to obtain a more complete picture of the reception of Hálek's poetry. This method was used for Neruda as well. The penultimate chapter is devoted to Hálek and Neruda in the...

Picture of the age in rural stories in the second half of the nineteenth century
Budílková, Jitka ; Šmahelová, Hana (advisor) ; Vaněk, Václav (referee)
The aim of this paper is to describe the evolution of village prose in the second half of the 19th Century, I base my interpretation on the display changes to themes of old age. I watch both literary and historical development, but also the existential elements of old age. These then telling the help of theses philosopher Jean Amery. My interpretation is based on four major works, themes that deal with old age. It is a Babička (1855) by Božena Němcová, the story Na vejminku (70s of the 19th century)by Vítězslav Hálek, the story Konec života Karel Václav Rais and finally the story by Teréza Nováková. The analysis approaching from obvious at first glance, obvious concepts which binds age and progresses toward its existential component, that is how old people perceive time. The descriptions of the individual performs a gradual evolution from a pure literary and historical idylism to realism.
